Scope of lesson
This article presents general information on the working environment offered by InstalSystem 5 and describes the basic steps in design when using this software. The package offers many integrated modules and functionalities that allow to work on different installations within a single project file, there is no need to switch between different programs. All program functionalities are described in detail in separate articles about various applications of the program, linked below in this article.
Modules and program configuration
- InstalSystem 5 in a configuration suitable for the preparation of the project.
- Internet connection (to activate and update the program).
The videos present the topics described in this article, but they aren’t a recording of this lesson.
Steps to perform
First steps and package information
The package is composed of Manager and Editor. Simultaneously, only one instance of Manager but more than one Editor may be turned on.
